Whilst it is possible to do astrophotography with an alt-az mount, an equatorial mount makes things a whole lot easier. An HEQ5 with your ED80 is a popular combination and they hold their value pretty well.
Start with shorter focal lengths and maybe even just a DSLR and a telephoto lens of 200-300mm.
At some point you'll need a guide scope and camera for guided photography.
